Answer:
1. P ( tails) = 1/2
2.P (number greater than 4) = 1/3
3. P (2 die sum to 8) = 5/36
Step-by-step explanation:
A coin only has 2 possibilities, head or tails, and they are equally likely
So the probability of getting a tails is 1/2
P ( tails) = 1/2
A die has the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 . There are 2 numbers greater than 4. They are 5 and 6. So there are 2 of the 6 choices that work.
P (number greater than 4) = 2/6 = 1/3
See the dice chart
There are 36 possibilities when you roll the die.
There are 5 that sum to 8
P (2 die sum to 8) = 5/36
Answer: 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The nearest whole number would be 1, because the fraction 5/8 to a decimal is 0.625.
Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
Given



Required
Find P(A) and P(B)
We have that:
--- (1)
and
--- (2)
The equations become:
--- (1)

Collect like terms


Make P(A) the subject

--- (2)


Substitute: 
![[0.770 - P(B)] * P(B) = 0.144](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B0.770%20-%20P%28B%29%5D%20%2A%20P%28B%29%20%3D%200.144)
Open bracket

Represent P(B) with x

Rewrite as:

Expand

Factorize:
![x[x - 0.45] - 0.32[x - 0.45]= 0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5Bx%20-%200.45%5D%20-%200.32%5Bx%20-%200.45%5D%3D%200)
Factor out x - 0.45
![[x - 0.32][x - 0.45]= 0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bx%20-%200.32%5D%5Bx%20-%200.45%5D%3D%200)
Split

Solve for x

Recall that:

So, we have:

Recall that:

So, we have:


Since:

Then:
